Dear Friend of the National Parks,

Haze doesn't just choke the views in our national parks -- the fine
particulate matter that causes it also gets into our lungs with every
breath we take.

Visiting a park should give all of us a chance to get away from
dangerous air pollution. We go to parks not just for the history and
the amazing views. We go to breathe easier and to experience healthy,
vibrant nature.

That's why it's so outrageous that the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) is rushing to get away with inadequate clean air protections
that fail to make the air safer for people's health, wildlife and
nature that science says is necessary.

Take action for clean air now by telling the EPA that you want
stronger protections against air pollution in national parks!

The current Obama-era standards aren't strong enough to keep parks and
people safe from fine particulate matter pollution. But instead of
improving protections for park air -- or even conducting fair and
scientific reviews on air quality -- the EPA wants to keep those weak
protections even longer.

Communities rely on parks for their economic survival... and parks and
nature rely on clean air to stay healthy.

Haze caused in part by fine particulate matter obscures the stunning
views in many of our prized national parks and wilderness areas. And
this same pollution damages sensitive park ecosystems as it is a
significant component of acid rain, changing soil and water chemistry
for the worse. This pollution even increases in concentration up the
food chain harming wildlife from aquatic organisms all the way to bald
eagles and bears.

Friend of the National Parks, it will be years before these air pollution
safeguards are up for review again. Parks and people can't wait any
longer for clean air.

Send your official comment to the EPA today and demand clean air for
our communities and our parks!

Thank you for all that you do,

PS. We know from recent studies that personalized comments can have a
real impact, so please take a minute to tell the EPA why clean air
matters to you personally.
